"And good riddance," Jake said, seeing the Horned King consumed by the cauldron. Always the same smug arrogance, and always the same screaming disbelief. Bad guys just don't ever learn. He turned to look at the rest, trying to see if anyone was wounded or killed in the fight.
He was pleasantly surprised when Gurgi was revived; the mutt was annoying at times, but it took a lot of heart to sacrifice oneself for others. He pulled out some jerky from his backpack, gave them to the dog, and rubbed his hair.
"That was brave of you there, buddy. Just make sure not to make it a habit; you nearly gave us a heart attack back there!"
He took Taran aside for a bit after his kiss with the Princess.
"Say, kid?" he whispered to the boy. "That was some sword-swinging there... could use a little improvement, though. Try to follow through on a slash by using the momentum to guide you into the next hit, just maintain your footing and don't just spin like a top, know what I mean? Oh, and try and be a gentleman; ladies love the knight in shining armor bit, so be nice to the Princess and you might keep her heart. Good luck, champ."
He gave a shooting motion with his hand, winking with approval to Taran before turning to Thomas.
"Thanks for the covering my back, buddy," he said, reaching out for a handshake as he put away his axe. "Guess we better go find Reno now. I think the Horned King mentioned something about a portal?"
He looked around to see if there was a portal, or some clue as to where Reno had disappeared.

Sorry for the delay, everyone. the 'Guild was down most of yesterday, so I couldn't post. Catching up to the thread, will post ASAP.
"What the-?!" Jake caught a small flurry of grey fur dash behind him, and as he turned around to see it, he only caught a glimpse of Gurgi about to throw himself into the cauldron.
"Dammit, furball, stay away from that-!!"
It was too late; Gurgi had thrown himself into the cauldron after braving the battle between hero and undead/Heartless. Jake felt little personal sorrow at the death of the dog-being; he had not known Gurgi that well either. Yet the fact that a small, unarmed, defenseless being as Gurgi had chose to sacrifice himself after going into a fight to the death with little more than his bare paws... that just commanded respect.
Jake gave a couple seconds of silence before backhanding a hole through a Heartless that tried to sneak behind him. He then turned around and marched up to the Horned King.
"Damn, all that hot air, and not a single original word in it," he quipped, stopping in preparation to take on a wall of fire sent his way by the Horned King. He performed a strong Perfect Block to stop the first wave, then engaged in a rapid series of Rolling Blocks followed by Quick Runs, Aerial Glides, and High Jumps to get past the attack waves, and closed in with the Horned King.
"All that big talk, and you still hide behind your minions and fireworks like a scared little kid. That little hairball, I know almost nothing about. Yet by choosing to break the power of your little kitchenware even at the cost of his life... THAT takes courage. And that deserves a little monument too; I think you shattered skull will do."
Jake unleashed his fury, hammering at the Horned King with a flurry of slashes, power strikes, and slams, each blow capable of making even a strong Heartless reel with its power. Jake struck rapidly, trying to break and overextend the Horned King's shields and defense before delivering a powerful kick to his midsection that would send him reeling into the nearest wall, before charging forth in a burst of energy and bringing down Kaiser Leo with enough force that the impact - whether the Horned King shielded himself or not - created a crater 8 feet across in the stone ground.
Jake delivered another mighty blow, causing the very ground around him to tremble and crack as it slammed into foe.
"Yo, ugly! I'm going to beat that bag of bones you call a body until candy comes out!"
"Dammit, furball, stay away from that-!!"

...dammit.
So Jake is going to beat the Horned King with a pile of bones?
EDIT: Re-read it. Now I feel silly. Get the Horned King into the cauldron. My bad :(

"Great, I wait for a rematch, and all I get is a cheesy two-bit freak show with no sense of originality," growled Jake as he charged forth, slamming his axe into three skeletons so hard they shattered into flying pieces of bone. "For crying out loud, I wait a week or two for a revenge match, and all you can throw at me are cliched words that aren't worth the breath used in saying them?! You really need an evil speech tutor."
Jake paused to listen to Taran's plan.
"Normally, I'd say shouting the plan isn't exactly a sign of smarts, kid," Jake said, his grin widening, "but I like that idea. One lich stew coming up!"
Jake charged forth, slamming his axe into a nearby skeleton warrior, and then swung the hapless undead right at the closest cluster of undead soldiers as he ran at the Horned King.

Renose said I think its Thomas' and Saint's turn to post.
Sorry for not posting earlier. Connection issues plagued me yesterday.
Jake nodded slightly at Thomas' remark.
"Can't really argue that point, but right now, we need to work together. Thanks for the help, though..."
As Jake turned to lead the civilians out, a nagging voice at the back of his head was saying that Thomas somehow didn't like him very much. Jake may come off as abrasive, but something was off about the kid.
Dropping the prisoners to freedom, Jake gave a chuckle at how Eilonwy seemed to have the hots for Taran. There was the whole class difference, but damn, the kid knew how to pick 'em.
"Don't worry, Taran," Jake said, twirling his axe, "I'm about due for a rematch with Mr. Big and Ugly anyways. I was born ready. Besides, Reno might need some backup; we need to hurry."
The trio ran up the castle, cutting through undead and Heartless like a scythe through a dry field. Jake focused more on the Heartless, leaving the skeletons to Taran; the boy may still be a greenhorn, but if he was going to be a knight, best to let the kid whet his sword-fighting skills on the creatures he can take down rather than Heartless. Besides, he wasn't too bad, all things considered.
When they arrived at the Horned King's throne room, however, Jake went in first and began coughing. The foul stench of Mika's breath lingered, even though it was not as potent as before.
"Sonuvagun! What the *cough* hell?! Guys be careful *cough*. Apparently someone had a 13 bean and skunk dinner and then cut the cheese. *Cough* God damn it's foul!"
Waving his hand to dispel the stench, Jake looked around. He made out Hen Wen the pig surrounded by a large wall of ice, and the Horned King present. He grit his teeth and gripped his axe handle.
"Okay, Horny Toad," Jake said, "I'm back for the rematch! Where's Reno?!"

Renose said And ANY element of surprise that Belle or Reno may have had is now completely out the window XDGood thing Thomas isn't around to see this or he would be hitting his head against a wall repeatedly
Jake would probably have his own boneheaded tales to tell about his younger days.
But I think the element of surprise was gone the moment Creeper started calling out for the Heartless.
BioHazard said Though you have added an extra person to the group. The bard and the old man are the same person: Fflewdurr Fflam.
I'll go back and fix it. Anyone else I forgot?
Oh, *whew*. Thought I messed up the posting order.
